Hmmm, whithout axle's that is (Dana 60) if I get it right....
But I remember something about someone having UNIMOG axles under his sammy I believe that is (or was) the yellow zuk next to mike on the front page. That was an awesome rig I believe he is putting them under a tracker now  :o

Tough axles. Expensive when they break. What's not to love?  ;D

I think one would have a hard time breaking them under a zuki.

hell its like getting  a lift and gears at once. I wonder the kind of stress that would put on a stock zuk axle. might bend it with to big of tires.

A 2 to 1 reduction in the portal axle
would reduce stress on the axles, and
put it on the gears in the portals, that's
a good move for the 26 spline skinny
suzuki axles

For What it's worth, Zukizzy is working
on a set of portals for the Suzuki axle
housing, it's a spare time project, but
there is the posability it will be available
sometime in the future

I know someone else who is working on some for a Sammi but it is not one of his top priorities at the moment but what I've seen and heard sounds good so far plus stuck on the end of a widetrack Sammi axle would be just about the right trackwidth for a Kick SAS.
